Hace un tiempo varios lectores me escribieron preguntando sobre los timos / estafas que llegan por correo electrónico, en este post voy a dejar los mas recientes que están circulando por la red.
Aparentemente los servicios de protección de los principales correos como por ej: GMail están siendo efectivos a la hora de evitar que estos correos ingresen a nuestro Inbox y se los puede encontrar en la carpeta Spam, mas allá de eso es posible que alguno se le escape al sistema de detección y allí es donde debemos tener cuidado.
Cómo funciona el sistema:
1) En general son correos que están en Ingles pero además mal escritos, es común ver faltas de ortografía básicas o simplemente mala redacción, esto ya resulta sospechoso y sería la alerta número 1.
2) Lo siguiente es que el contenido del correo dice que eres beneficiario de algo, ya sea de una herencia o de dinero de una empresa, o un hombre moribundo te quiere donar todo o el presidente de Nigeria que quiere dar 10.000.000 de dolares, aunque a veces son textos cortos ofreciéndote una oportunidad de inversión o incluso puede ser un mensaje diciendo que es un soldado Estadounidense en Afganistan y necesita ayuda urgente.
3) La última etapa es la que te dicen que para poder enviarte el dinero o recibir la ayuda o lo que sea que te proponen tienes que enviar dinero por Wester Union o MoneyGram, lo que cambian son las historias pero esta parte del sistema de la estafa es igual por eso esta es la mayor ALERTA de todas!
¿Que hacer recibes un correo de este tipo? Denuncia!
¿Donde?
Aquí abajo voy a dejar ejemplos de las ultimas estafas que están circulando por la red:
